9 pm CSI: NY (CBS) | Repeat to Revisit: When the drama didn’t know whether or not it would be back for a ninth season, it capped Season 8 with one heck of an hour that could’ve served as a series finale.

9 pm Boss (Starz) | Chicago’s not doing so well, mainly because Kane’s decisions about the housing project lead to rioting and looting. At the same time, the big man seeks treatment at an alternative clinic, where he comes face-to-face with his past.
9 pm Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse (TBS) | In back-to-back episodes, Marcus gets the idea that he’s not really MJ’s father and Marcus and Richard get into a heavy-duty argument.

10 pm Strike Back (Cinemax) | Working on the DL, the team tries to figure out why Knox would break an opposition political leader out of a Zimbabwe prison. Meanwhile, someone familiar offers to help Knox.
